Slog - Comments on Get Ready... http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/get_ready Tomorrow, if you've somehow managed to avoid being reminded, is the sixth anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.... Copyright 2008 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 16:30:48 -0800 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 18:21:58 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by Will in Seattle Who cares?

Unlike the rest of you, my brother worked a couple days a week (he's a lawyer) in one of the two towers, my uncle worked every day (he's a lawyer) in one of the two towers and was taking a trip from Boston to the West Coast that day (luckily changed it to go in the afternoon ...) and my cousin is a Colonel in the Pentagon on the side that got hit (he was in a meeting).

Time to bring em home.

Separate the propaganda machine that the Administration turned the event into from how sad it was for our country for a second.


Anyway I hope they continue beaming the blue lights in to the air for each anniversary in the future. That's neat.

He was actually advising people to sit on a hairtrigger to pull their kids out of school the moment they get a creepy feeling because the Islamonazi Liberals or whatever are going to round up all the kiddies and murder them in droves.

Every time there is an incident, there is always a bunch of people marvelling about how if they had got up 15 minutes later, they would have been on that bus/train/plane. Yawn. If I had have stepped onto the road 10 seconds earlier today, I would've been hit by a bus too, but I didn't, so it ceases to be interesting to anyone.

Six years on and you're still trying to dine out on being related to people nearly (but not!) killed in 9/11? Move on.
